Brakes making a noise?
That noise that you hear when you step on the brakes is your brakes telling you that they need attention. Some - not all - brake pads come equipped with a squealer. This is a small addition to your brake pad that makes a noise when your brake pad is low. While brake pads do start at 10mm to 12mm depending if you are driving a passenger car or larger pickup they do wear every time you use your brakes.
Your brake pad clamps on to the brake rotor with the brake caliper; that friction is what stops you.
For some vehicles they have rear drums and shoes. Where in disc brakes you have a caliper that clamps the brake pad onto the disc rotor to stop. With shoes you have the opposite. The shoe gets pushed into the drum and that is what stops you. Brake shoes do wear more slowly than brake pads and that is by design.
